I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

I enjoyed this place a lot! I only have positive things to say. We arrived and there didn't have…read morespace to seat us, so we opted to wait for take out and we only had to wait 20 minutes. We ordered the wheeler hut pizza and the tavern bowl salad. Both were incredible! I'd highly recommend doing this combination on your next date night. We were both full and happy by the end.

May 12, 2026. Everything about the Maple leaf was…read moreoutstanding! My wife enjoyed a nice sparkling Prosecco to kick off the evening with our nice-sized Prince Edward Island oysters. We then shared a Waldorf salad, which was refreshing and nice. Then we both selected red wine varietals grown in Canada. I had a Cabernet/Merlot blend which was super great. Would've never guessed it was from Canada. Next, My wife enjoyed a Pinot Noir that was light and complimented our entrée perfectly. Our entrée was the fillet and prawns served over a garlic mashed potato. This is an absolutely extraordinary dish. We shared it and it was just enough for two people. It is a full meal for one person. The filet temperature preparation was perfect. The prawns were extraordinary, and the garlic mashed potato made you curl your toes! Then we closed the evening with the melted chocolate soufflé, which was divine. Here's the one thing that they missed and to me it's an important miss. They use an automated system for taking reservations. And it kept asking for my name to which I said "Chris" and the automated system kept asking me what's your name!? So it asked hey fourth time and in my frustration I got playful and I said "Big Daddy." And it happily received my name and took my reservation. And then asked if there was any special occasion and I said yes my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. I get that it may not seem normal to say "Big Daddy party for two". So I'll kind of let that pass because neither front door or upstairs Host was willing to ask. But what I don't like that was missed was our anniversary wasn't acknowledged. I was a server for years, and every host gave the server some type of chit or note to let them know if there is a special occasion. We specifically selected a higher end restaurant for anniversary. So somewhere in there, even if you weren't brave enough to say "Big Daddy for two." Someone still should've checked if you were celebrating any special occasion to which we were. Our anniversary. Our server was fabulous. She was super kind helpful and shared about her experience being in Banff. She made us feel great. My overall experience, the Mapleleaf is a great restaurant. But I'm scoring you an A- because you missed our anniversary. and that's why we chose you. So if you're going to use AI, you can't miss special occasions. Chris & Trisha from Long Beach, CA

5/5 -- Outstanding Experience at The Maple Leaf!…read more We had an incredible Birthday Dinner for our daughter at The Maple Leaf, and a huge part of that was thanks to our server and bartender, Megan. She was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and spot-on with her recommendations for both drinks and appetizers. We started the evening with a Maple Old Fashioned, which was perfectly balanced and set the tone for the night. For starters, we ordered the Fior Loaf Buttered Cheese Bread, which was warm, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Our family tried a variety of entrées, and every single one impressed: * Maple Salmon Prawns - flavorful and beautifully prepared * Mafalda Limone Pasta - bright, creamy, and comforting * Roasted Harvest Chicken - cooked perfectly with great seasoning * Bison Burger - juicy, unique, and packed with flavor To finish, we indulged in dessert with the Maple Crème Brûlée and the Hot Chocolate Soufflé--both outstanding and the perfect ending to a great meal. Overall, The Maple Leaf delivered an exceptional dining experience. Amazing food, warm ambiance, and standout service from Megan made this one of the best meals we've had.

This cute little cabin like restaurant is all about the experience but the food is just as good…read more They have vintage décor and Rocky Mountain charm throughout. One of my favourite dishes is the fondue dinner in multi course version. I love their hearty ooey gooey French onion soup but you can opt for the salad if you're wanting something light and fresh prior to the decadent items that lie ahead. The cheese fondue is as good as every cheese fondue I've ever tasted but you can try a bunch of different game meat for the next course. The game ranges from buffalo, venison, to wild boar. I went with the venison which is so delicious when cooked right and finally ended with the sweet velvety chocolate fondue. The wait staff are friendly, quick and make the experience so much more enjoyable through interactive cooking and good old charm.

Came here on a busy Saturday afternoon without a reservation and only had to wait about 30 minutes…read morefor a table. Very cool ambiance inside the restaurant so I didn't mind the wait. Also the hostess took our drink orders while we waited which was nice. Got seated outside and it was a great spot to sit under the warmer but still enjoy the fresh air and people watch. I started off with an Old Fashioned and maybe the best French onion soup I've ever had. For the main course we had Alberta Beef and Caribou. Very high quality and tasty meat. Our waitress was super busy but still took the time to explain everything, cooking recommendations, dipping sauces, etc. Being such a touristy place I went in with pretty low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Definitely recommend a reservation but if you don't have one it's worth the wait in my opinion.
